It sounds like your recipe is doing out of tree builds wrong, because
waf.bbclass doesn't support them.

There's a variable for "build tree", and it's $B, and $B is wiped on
clean.    autotools.bbclass and cmake.bbclass use $B for the location
of out-of-tree builds, and waf.bbclass should respect it too.

As you use waf and out-of-tree builds, would you be able to fix the class?
